CRAZY, INSANE or STUPID...?!

So a couple of weeks ago, Jen and I decided that today we would do a crazy 16km walk. Walk 8km one way pushing prams - let the kids have a play at a park and have a bit of lunch and then walk back again a bit later.

As today got closer we saw the weather forcast - 36 degrees. Hmmm.... not going to happen with 4 kids under 5!!! It just wouldn't be fair to them (and no it isn't an excuse!). So we decided we would do a section of the walk. Well it was almost torture! We walked 3kms out and 3kms back and 787 cals burnt in 1hr and 33mins (for me) later. We were both nearly passed out and were very sweaty and worn out from kids and pushing prams! But we did something at least! And it was better than nothing and it felt good (well and truly afterwards!). We will aim to do our 16km walk on a much much cooler day lol. Let us know if you want to join us!!!

It was great getting back home to the air conditioned house and being able to chillax in the poool for the arvo before burning another 253 cals at Zumba (I was knackered!).
